We arrived at Thompson Bay, Long Island Saturday evening just after 8:30 pm. The harbor was well-lit by the full moon so we motored right up to our anchoring spot (as opposed to anchoring way back). It helped that the anchorage was not full. On Sunday George started the day by swabbing the deck. When the wind is very light the dew will collect on the deck in the morning. George will occasionally use a mop to swab it in order to clean off some of the salt that has accumulated from days of salt spray. Later in the morning we dinghied over to chat with old friends Jean and Michael on Desiderata II then Matt and Marty on Runaway. In the afternoon we all met at Tiny’s Hurricane Hole for lunch. It was great to catch up again.

The tide was high during our first trip to Long Island Petroleum so George was able to lift the full cans of diesel right off of the dock and into the dinghy.
Today was a day for chores—two dinghy trips to Long Island Petroleum for diesel, a trip to Hillside Food Supply for fresh fruits and vegetables, and a trip to drop off our garbage.
